Welcome to Affiliate Expo, the event that started in Italy with a simple mission: to bring together people from the affiliate marketing industry in a real, useful, and human way.
Founded in 2018, Affiliate Expo quickly became one of Italy’s most recognized affiliate marketing events. Over the years, it became more than just a conference. It became a meeting point for affiliates, media buyers, advertisers, networks, e-commerce professionals, Cash on Delivery operators, dropshippers, and service providers looking to connect, learn, and grow together.
From Rome to Milan, and later to the unforgettable editions at Lake Maggiore, Affiliate Expo has always been built around the same idea: real people, real conversations, practical strategies, and meaningful business connections.
Our focus has always been clear. We wanted to create a space where the COD and eCommerce affiliate community could meet, share knowledge, discover new opportunities, and build relationships that continue long after the event is over.
In 2022, after becoming part of AI20 Network, Affiliate Expo started a new phase of growth. In 2023, TrafficManager joined the project as co-organiser, helping bring more international visibility, stronger industry connections, and a clearer focus on the fast-growing COD and eCommerce space.
In 2026, Affiliate Expo enters its biggest chapter yet, joining Affiliate Grand Slam (AGS) and becoming part of the SiGMA World ecosystem — one of the largest global conference platforms for affiliates, media buyers, advertisers, networks, and digital businesses.
But even on a bigger stage, the spirit remains the same.
Affiliate Expo will keep its own dedicated area, its own community, its own speakers, and its signature masterminds focused on Google, Meta, COD, eCommerce, and the well-known “Italian Angle”, where local experts share real strategies from the market.
We are proud of where this journey started.
We are grateful to everyone who helped us grow.
And we are excited to bring the Affiliate Expo community back to Rome — the Eternal City — this time on a global stage.
